Ring Energy Inc
Company Overview
History and Background

Core Business Areas

Leadership and Structure
Paul D. McKinney serves as Chairman and CEO. The company has a board of directors and a management team overseeing operations, finance, and business development.
Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings
- Crude Oil: Ring Energy's primary product is crude oil extracted from the Permian Basin. Market share data is difficult to pinpoint exactly as it varies but Ring Energy is a small player compared to larger operators in the Permian Basin. Competitors include EOG Resources (EOG), Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD), and Occidental Petroleum (OXY).
- Natural Gas: While primarily focused on oil, Ring Energy also produces natural gas as a byproduct of its oil operations. Similar to oil, Ring Energy's natural gas production contributes a small fraction to the total market share. Competitors are the same as for crude oil.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The oil and gas industry is characterized by cyclical price fluctuations, technological advancements (e.g., fracking), and evolving regulatory environments. Demand is influenced by global economic growth and geopolitical factors.
Positioning
Ring Energy is a smaller, independent operator focused on the Permian Basin. Its competitive advantages include its concentrated geographic focus and experience in the region.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The global oil and gas market is estimated to be multi-trillion USD. Ring Energy, as a small-cap player, targets a niche within the Permian Basin. Exact positioning within the TAM is complex and requires detailed production and reserves data.
